The Poppykettle Papers is an epic adventure for children and is
based on the old tales of the Hairy Peruvians, a community of tiny
fisherfolk, who centuries ago sprang to life from sacrificial Inca dolls
on the coast of Peru. The Hairy Peruvians had lived on this coast for
generations, often at the mercy of El Nino, the temperamental sea god.
Over the years, many expeditions set out in flimsy reed boats to see a
more hospitable land across the ocean to the west, but none returned.
Robert Ingpen's books The Voyage of the Poppykettle and The Unchosen
Land, have enthralled Australian readers for two decades. Now young
readers around the world will be able to enjoy this fabulous saga retold
in The Poppykettle Papers by Michael Lawrence with wonderful
illustrations by Robert Ingpen. The Poppykettle Papers recounts the
exploits of Aloof the Far-Sighted and his resourceful sister Arnica and
their quest to find the Unchosen Land in the company of Andante the
Whistler, Astute the Wise, and their grandfather Don Avante. This book
has all the ingredients - adventure, danger, bizarre situations,
tragedy, triumph, strong characters, and more than a sprinkling of
humour - to make it popular with children the world over.
